Abstract
A test device for analyzing a specific component in a test solution with a reagent by allowing the solution introduced via a feed opening to react with the reagent maintained in a predetermined position in a capillary tube having the opening and an air outlet The tube is provided with two hydrophilic regions and a hydrophobic region The region transfers the solution from the opening to the reagent. The region is delimited to a predetermined area maintaining the reagent. The region separates the region from the region The reagent and the solution are applied in predetermined amounts to the region A measuring device need not previously measure the solution. The device is useful as an analytical device for rapid and easy analysis, and can be produced in a less number of steps because the reagent can be fixed by merely applying it onto a predetermined position.
